The Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes individuals whose long-term involvement with DMAW and generous contributions of time, thought, leadership, and action have significantly advanced the organization and its impact within the direct marketing community.
“Meredith embodies the spirit of volunteer leadership that makes DMAW such a strong and vibrant community,” said Raeshawn Crosson, Executive Director of DMAW. “One of her greatest contributions has been her commitment to curating meaningful educational content that keeps our members informed and helps move our industry forward. From production and direct mail to the evolving multi-channel landscape, Meredith has a unique ability to bring together the right voices, ideas, and expertise to create relevant, actionable learning experiences. She consistently gives her time, knowledge, and energy to DMAW, and we are incredibly grateful for her leadership and proud to recognize her as our Volunteer of the Year.”
A Commitment to Community
Meredith’s involvement with DMAW reflects something that has been central throughout her career: a belief in the power of relationships, shared knowledge, and giving back to the community that has given so much to her.
“Serving the nonprofit industry has given me far more than I could ever give back,” Meredith said. “To work alongside people who share my values, my commitment to doing things the right way, and a genuine desire to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, or support those who do, makes this work feel a lot less like work and a lot more like joy. Volunteering has shaped me personally and professionally in ways I could never capture in a single quote, and it is truly an honor to serve this community.”
That spirit of service is also deeply connected to Meredith’s work at Production Solutions. Our team believes a stronger direct marketing and fundraising community benefits everyone, and we are proud to support our colleagues who invest their expertise, energy, and time in moving the industry forward.
